Today, I woke up to the death of Steve Jobs. At the age of 56, he did what most entrepreneurs dream of doing – changing the world for the better. Even though I didn't know him, I could help but feel saddened and tearful. Part out of respect – and part out of feeling that […]
I was checking my email this morning and a new start-up founder asked me the following: "P.s. how did you stay focused and motivated with so many obstacles and uncertainties when you were first starting takelessons?"
